  1. We're the same. We're doing this to hopefully benefit the CFL. But the 2 games are very different. Maybe there are revenue opportunities for the CFL in Europe. I just don't know how or what they are so I'm skeptical. I doubt Ambrosie knows this either which is why this isn't exciting for me as of yet. We know the CFL will be second fiddle over there. That the style of game & rules won't be suddenly embraced. They should play some exhibition games over there to introduce Euros to our game in person. So fans can see just how wide open the CFL can be.
  2. Whoa, not so fast. You should know that Syncrude & Husky Oil are complaining bitterly that the price for Alberta oil is now too expensive to be shipped by rail & both are threatening to curtail shipments of AB oil to market. For the past 2 months, the AB govt has raised production levels of Western Canada Select to keep them at least $10 a barrel lower than West Texas Intermediate. The only way to get full value for WCS is to ship it by pipeline. How can you give Trudeau any credit for any of this is beyond me.
  3. At the same time, the NFL Brand is known world wide. The CFL Brand isn't. Why would countries that play 4 down football suddenly embrace our 3 down brand with a bigger field & different rules? I just can't see that happening anywhere.
  4. Ambrosie wants to up the rookie salary to $70,000 Canadian.
  5. Both sides have bungled this so badly.
  6. Hill may be the best defensive player to ever play in the CFL. Yeah, that includes all the greats at different positions. Total ball hawk. Great instincts to anticipate where the ball would be all over the field. Just a nose for the football. Those are qualities no one can coach. . You either got it or you don't.
  7. Former Seattle Seahawk & Blue Bomber quarterback Jim Zorn is the new GM & Head Coach of the XFL team in Seattle. It was announced this week. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/02/25/hip-hip-hooray-jim-zorn-lands-another-job-leading-seattles-xfl-franchise/
  8. I just remember Rod Hill blocking a lot of punts when he played. One in the 88 Eastern Final that won us the game.
  9. Oh yeah. Well, no one should get a pass if they screw up. And Reed did that with gusto.
  10. I picked up on that as well. Trudeau has his friends in the media which is why I'm concerned that by the time the federal election happens the Liberal media in this country will bury it.
  11. I said it once. say it again. Reed should be fired.
  12. He can lick his career goodbye
  13. You don't provide humour unless you purposely laugh at your own jokes in a mirror.
  14. The guy bombed (pardon the pun) in Montreal. This was a high risk low reward for the Als. The bad behaviour is on Manziel not living up to the "secret" conditions but the business decision to bring the guy in & sell the farm now for nothing is on Reed. he should have realized that there was a high percentage this would not work out. The Als are screwed with a lack of draft picks now for 2 more seasons. Kavis should be gone permanently today.
  15. Here's info from CFL.ca https://www.cfl.ca/2019/02/27/alouettes-release-johnny-manziel/
  16. Als have released Johnny Manziel. For what the Als gave up to get him, Kavis Reed should be fired.
  17. That was no joke. That was just you being you.
  18. He should have Socked the guy.
  19. Marshall in a Rider uniform just never looked right.
  20. Zontar, you handled the criticism of your hometown from Bluto pretty well & your response was diplomatic. I'm impressed. If that was most Rider fans, there'd be a big meltdown.
  21. Remains to be seen, I guess.
